The Indianapolis Sentinel quotes from one
OF its Democratic State exchanges denial of
its late libel on the Grand Army of the Re-
public and follows it with string of words
which, as far they have any meaning seem
intended for denial on its own behalf.
Calling the Journal liar, with multiplicity
of vulgar adjectives, doesn't change the fact.
Here is the Sentinel's charge in its original
form: 1.-The indications are that a plot was
to be concocted to murder Cleveland at st.
Louis" These were the exact words. The
reference was to the occasion of the Presi-
dents proposed visit during the G. A. r.
encampment, and the charge without limita-
ton or qualification, was that on that occa-
sion ga plot to be concocted to murder
him. This was wholesale charge against
the Grand Army. Since then the Sentinel
has tried hard to explain and limit the orig
inal charge, but this was an afterthought
This libel is plastered on the Sentinel, and
there it will stay.

A CONVICTION, KY, correspondent says
there is very strong and growing feeling in
Covington and Newport against Mr.. Carlisle
and his free trade views. He adds: II give
it as my honest and candid opinion that it is
very doubtful whether or not the Speaker
could be elected to Congress tomorrow on a
full vote in the Sixth district 1t is more
than doubtful whether he will be renominated
next year" If Mr.. Carlisle should happen to
be left at home on this account he would
probably conclude that the people were doing
a good deal of thinking on their own ac-
count.

attract much attention except from lawyers

and is attracting attention only in Illinois
but over the United States, and, indeed, it may
be said. all the world. because the case Of
the convicted Anarchists, which was taken up
from the Cook County Criminal Court is to be
decided. and the fate of the seven men
condemned to death, and of Neebe, condemned
to fifteen years in the penitentary. will be
known as soon as the court makes public the
decision. 1t is not known when the decision
will be filed; it may be filed tomorrow morning,
and it may not be filed before Thursday Fri
day. as it is probable that the written opinion,
which has not yet been submitted to the entire
bench will have to be carefully examined and
criticised before it is read in court. The general
impression here seems to be that the court
stands six to one in favor of affirming the
tence of the lower court. 1t is not known who
has written the opinion out 1T is believed thatit
will be in the language of either Justice Ma

road men the country has produced. He
grew up with that great enterprise, and like
the man who lifted a calf every day until it
was full-grown. his ability to handle it kept
pace with the growth of the enterprise. But
Robert Garrett lacks the business training
and mental grip of his father. He could not
manage what the old man had built up-a
common occurrence, by the way, in the bust
ness world. The management of the road
has been vacillating ever since it came into
his hands, and vacillating management is
always weak. Probably if the truth were
known the company's debts have accumulated,
its revenues decreased, and the value of the
road diminished At all events, it is evident
that Mr.. Robert Garrett has been anxious for
some time to get rid Of the greater part of the
load, and if the latest deal holds good he will
have done So The result is likely to be
consolidation of railroad interests that have
heretofore been conflicting, and more har-
monious management of the transportation
business. The name of Garrett will disappear
from the list OF railroad magnates.

COLUMBUS gentleman who has been WIS.,
ting indianapolis reports to his local paper
that this city is thoroughly demoralized and
nearly ready to be fenced in for pasturage.
Among other circumstances which he notes
proof of this alarming statement is the fact
that .'the city is being run on the high moral
pressure; no saloon open after IL o'clock; no
gambling houses open at any time and even
private card parties are raided through the aid
of spies, and in each instance fine and costs
are assessed of $40 49," There is reason to
suspect that this gentleman, who is further
described a Democrat, gained his impress
81 ons from a midnight search for liquid re-
freshments or as a member of "private card
party" The Journal will not attempt to con-
trovert any of these interesting assertions of
the Columbus man, save that in relation to the
Mayor The demoralized condition of the
city was not brought about ''by Democratic
Mayor who is serving his last term and feath-
ering his own nest previous to retiring from
Office" On the contrary, it is the work of a
Republican Mayor who means to serve an
other term and thereby prevent Democratic
official from feathering his nest and running
the town. The truth must be told, at what
